THB STATE PBESS. That truly loyal man and faithful coat-tail swinger, the Boo. W. H. Yeldell, ex June Bug, baa been rewarded by GOT. Tillman with the office of Inspector, Accountant and Sub-Taster of Dispensaries^ Be is to travel from one dispensary to another, from the mountains to the seaboard, throughout our unhappy State, and see that the wretched though well paid, dispensers keep their figures right and do not cheat. These dis? pensers are to be watched. It te well ! Inspector, Accountant and Sob-Taster Yel? dell is also to be handsomely paid. All . dispensary officiais are well paid. Inspector, Accountant and Sab-Tast?r Ye?dell's salary is to be $1,800 ? year- so it is said. And Trailer** is $3,000; And still there are white meo hi South Carolina who can look upon these doings with complacency > noodles, doodles, poodles f ? Catto? Plant. Seaator Irby has watten ft letter to the daily pasera in which he makes very serious charges against the reform officials in ' Columbia. His letter is verjr unjust to those gentlemen and O&oM never have been writtea-as h* depended ?a tete that were mere rumors pnb?ia?ed by opposition papers. To our knowledge there baa ne?er been an effort among reformers here-or any meeting -to name a candidate l or governor. A good desi of discussion, very naturally, has been had aconta March convention and how it should be called, bot too meetrag bas been held even abbot that. The day for "rings" and "cJSqaea" to role baa passed and no man ha* a right to raie everybody else oat of a party because be does not agree with him. If Senator Irby keeps on there will be no reformer left to keep him company. Unity is what we want and these wholesale charges only tend to division and the people should etoo those making them. Edp?dd Monitor. The ??immortal trio"--ti?lo?n, Irby, Shell -nave been well paid in dollars and cents for their scheme to divide the white people of this State, and ?sftaptof tte coat-tail ekspers have likewise been carried safely across the rirer into green pastores. Governor Tillman, who didn't want asiything "at all, gete fourteent bowan d djlkire-four years salary for kickiag ap- ? dost, besides mileage and andaoforths. Senator Irby will receire about $35,000 for six years' service, misrep? resenting South Corolini in the United States Senate. Congressman Shell will! make about $25,000 by toe scheme About the only thing he bas done to win the admiration of the people is to so conduct himself as x> give offense to our bulldozing State Chairman. He is entitled to much credit for even that. Atkin Journal. Candidates for the vari?os County office are cropping out and before the sommer is ended there will likely be quite a number in the field, bot not as many as formerly for the reason that the office of Cou n ty Commissioner has been abolished, and the salary of the School Commissioner cut. The race for Conn ty Supervisor will likely be lively. Edgefidd Advaiiur. Should Uncle George Tillman move to Sd gefiel d and occupy the .Griffin house on the hill, as is now the rumor, there would be living within a turkey-yelp of each other the Seater ot the ?dgefifld bar/ tfe lie?o of Brandy Station, and the sage of Clarks Hill. What a power of political, devilment these three could kick up io Bdgefield county!io 1894, if so minded. Yorkville Enquirer. Among the prominent po fi ticians spoken of as canddiates for governor, are J. E. Tin? dal, W. D. Evans, John Gary Evans, General ; Silerbe and George D. Tillman. Whether any or all of them will be candidates, of course nobody knows ; but one thing is pret? ty certain, and that is that if George D. Till? man takes it into his bead to ron, he will malee things very lively. Edgefidd Monitor. We have bot one objection to "tariff re? form," intelligently administered. If some other word could be suggested to fill the place of "reform" we could heartily endorse the project. Bot the most consomm?t? and tyranical humbug that ever manacled a free people bas been perpetrated in Sooth Carolina auder> the guise of "Reform." The very word is carrow and suggestive of bossism, ring ism ard duplicity. Call it tariff revision, tariff redaction, tariff anything so it isn't t??ff^eforts.'V loomat. I B-y.^^V ^-.g^wl kt one another as much as they please; but --at the proper time the old Blinker will brush all obstacles aside as easily as though they were cob-webs-he will meet them all at Philippi. The people, after all, will have to decide such questions. mm i i 9 mmi Ionia Item?. IONIA, S. C., Jae,. 18, 1894.

WKDGXFIKLD, January 23, 1894/ Your correspondent has beard numerous complaints by some of our best citizens about the way io which the ?3h are slaughtered by wholesale in oar streams in Wateree Swamp. ?We would like very mach, li>.'fditor, fer you to tell us what is the proper course to pursue to stop it. Shall it be reported to the Grand Jcry ?.. We also have a Fish Com? missioner, it certainly isa violation of the few and. should be stopped. The offence, is simply this, dynamite cartridges are used, and when they explode under water,, of course, destroy fte life of ?very thing for some distance around ; and the worst part of the ,?y^m?te~W^!n^^ the fisb|^:?o0!^l."^p b^:^a^;^ and sink imraed iateiy. only rising too late for any good. They then decay, being so bad in places that the scientific fishermen are render? ed very uncomfortable thereby. And agaio, tbe fish are being so depleted that it is very difficult in some places for any to be caught, where, before the ase of dynamite, they could be caught with hook and line to the gratifica? tion of the skilled fisherman. This is a mat? ter that really ought to be looked into and it is to be hoped that something will be done very soon. Am sorry to say that your cor? respondent has been reliably informed that on last Thanksgiving a particularly large amount of tbs work was done, and by seve? ral from your city. No names, however, were given or asked for. Rev. B. C. Lamplty has accepted the call from Wedgefield and Summerton, and an ap? pointment has been made for bim at Wedgefield, for the 3d Sunday in February.
